Reference Designs

TIDA-01547 reference design implements a simple mesh network data collector for smart meter Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) networks. The network is an IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN) solution. The data collector implements a complete software stack split across a 32-bit host MCU and a separate Wireless MCU in order to optimize performance and flexibility. Network performance is improved by the TI-15.4 stack which implements IEEE 802.15.4e/g protocols. This stack implements an un-slotted channel hopping (USCH) mode that provides protection against in-band interference.
